Research Opportunities

Physical Engineering

Work description

• The objective of this work is the development of optofluidic solutions fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing.
• Integrated optofluidic devices are used for the characterization of cells and other suspended particles and/or for optical trapping.
• The fabrication process involves the creation of optical components, such as waveguides and lenses, as well as three-dimensional micromachining through erosion in aqueous solutions (FLICE – Femtosecond Laser Induced Chemical Etching).

Minimum requirements

• PhD degree in PhD in Physics, Engineering Physics or similar, or related scientific area

Preference factors

• Solid knowledge of optics/guided optics, laser direct writing, microfluidics and programming will be considered an advantage

Salary level: In accordance with article 15 of the RJEC and article 2 of Regulatory Decree no. 11-A/2017, of 29 December, the gross monthly base remuneration to be awarded is based on remuneration level 1 of the Investigador Júnior category of the Public Scientific Research Career Statute, with INESC TEC applying its own remuneration table for R&D doctoral employees, with a value of €2404.92 for the equivalent category.
